Photo seminar at FUN

[messydesk]

Do your coin pictures embarrass you? Are you going to be at FUN?

 

I'll be giving a brief seminar on taking respectable coin photographs on Friday, 1/7, at 11:15. I'll cover lots of mistakes people make, how to overcome them, and share basic techniques for photographing different types of coins, all using a setup that should cost about $200 including the camera, and all in about 45 minutes. Hope to see you there.

I've seen Mr. Messy Desks picture quality and I can say that he does top quality work. If I go, I will definitely be there!

John knows what he's talking about. He's won the last 4 or 5 photo contests. I know he'll set me straight to the exact number. Great guy as well. Wish I were going.

This is a must see for people. Even me! Maybe I will get to attend this year.

Messy, that is great that you will be doing this. Unfortunately I won't be at FUN this year (after last year in the frozen tundra of Orlando) so hopefully you will do this again. I have a million questions about refining some of my techniques, especially on high contrast silver, I still can't get that right......

@coindude, Bruceswar: Thanks for the vote of confidence. My goal is to have a lot of people say to themselves after the presentation, "I get it now," with respect to the causal relationships between what they're doing and what the picture looks like. Be sure to introduce yourselves.

 

@robec: 5, but who's counting.

I like Messydesk's work a LOT...

 

Here's a pair of my 1st gen PCGS rattler proof patterns he imaged.

Broadstruck... I agree... I like his work as well...

 

He imaged 20 of my Quarters...

 

Here's one of my favorites... ex: ICG 58:

 

 

I am sending him another couple of boxes of Quarters

right after Thanksgiving - and picking them up at FUN.
